Before Prince Harry<\/a><\/strong> and his wife Meghan Markle<\/a><\/strong> were taking over our daily royal news feed<\/a>, there was Prince William<\/a><\/strong> and the stunning Kate Middleton<\/a><\/strong> leading the way on the royal news circuit.<\/p>\n

While we love the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, we’ve been mega fans of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for years and years. Even before the perfect couple wed in April 2011<\/a>, we were showing Prince William and his leading lady some serious love.<\/p>\n

After they tied the knot, our fascination and appreciation of the future King of England<\/a> and his wife grew and we’re not mad about it. In fact, over the past decade or so we’ve waited time and time again to see what these two lovebirds were up to.<\/p>\n

Whether it was traveling on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong> to different countries or giving us glimpses into their home life and children<\/a>, Wills and Kate have always been one of our favorite couples to root for and watch.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Since today is the Duke’s birthday\u2014William is turning 37 years old\u2014what better way to celebrate him than by looking back at all of his sweet moments with his college sweetheart?<\/p>\n

The two lovebirds met in 2001 while studying at the University of St. Andrews and began dating in 2003, and although there were some bumps along the way their love story has always been one for the record books.<\/p>\n

Together William and Kate are a super couple<\/a> who also happen to be super parents and the future of the British monarchy. They are practically perfect in every way and they have the precious pics to prove it.<\/p>\n

Join us in celebrating Wills on his birthday by toasting to him and his No. 1 gal now!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
